About this case

Witness statements, photographs, medical examinations and hotel records. They're all on your desk from the first minute, and the hotel is there too, room by room. Not everyone in these papers tells the same story twice.

You decide what matters. Keep the words you want and say what you think on Cards. Put the evening in order, lay it all out on your Board and walk to where it happened. When you're sure enough, seal your case report and submit it. Then you get the answer.

A technical examination of the corridor camera, with the line “It does not identify anybody.” marked

How you play

A witness statement with “I knocked twice and there was no answer” selected

Mark what matters

Select any words in any paper and keep them as a Finding.

A Card reading “Both changed their stories. Check the rooms.”, resting on 4 Findings

Say what you think

A Card is your thought in your own words: a question or an explanation that joins two or more Findings. The game never writes one for you.

The Timeline, with times from the player’s Findings in order

The evening in order

Lay it out

Put Findings and Cards on your Board, move them where you want them and thread them together.
